[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 526556, member: 30902"] Matt looking at your rig here are to suggestions. One, running from the front of the table at about where you set your bipod legs you need an angle brace coming back to the riser posts. Two, if you made a second set of riser posts/legs coming off of the rear at an angle which would attach to the cross bar/seat support on the chair you would have ideal stability for the whole rig. You could have them made such that they just clamp on to the frame of the chair and thus not need to do any modifying on the chair. Once all of the above is done I'd suggest making yourself a shelf across the front at roughly the height of the bipod or slightly below. Don't permanently affix the shelf though, in case you need to take a downhill shot. When the elevation is needed for level or above line of sight shooting just having one of the bricks I suggested you make to set on that shelf would give you ideal stability. The Monopods work great, but they do have their limits on height adjustment which is why I suggest the "towel rack" concept. The base can be either round or square with a width/diameter equal to whatever max height you think you'd need for elevation on the rear of the weapon. About a 1 1/4 dowell slightly concaved would give you an ideal rest for the monopod. The nice thing bout the monopods is they don't have to be permanently affixed, they just screw in/out of the stock, and if you shoose to leave it permanently affixed they fold up against the base of the stock. Something else that would be cheap and easy for your front elevation would be a simple RV jack or jack stand with a permanently affixed bean bag gun rest on the top. You can even get them made of aluminum now I think so that'd help with any weight issues. [/QUOTE]
